The Books site will be a strange place on Friday 14 June 2013, as Neil Gaiman takes over for a day. He'll be taking some time out to answer questions between 1pm and 2pm UK time, but if there's something you'd like to ask, you can start posting right here and right now.

You might want to return to the beginnings of his career in the 1980s – the era of 2000AD and The Sandman – or ask about the first glimmerings of his 1999 novel Stardust. Maybe you'd like to ask about his fascination with myths, or whether there's anything different about his approach when writing for children. Perhaps you'd like to ask him about his talent for collaboration, or even the inspiration for his latest novel, The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

Just post your questions in the thread below and make a date to come and join us this Friday.
